J is for Jiffy

Here's another drabble for you! A drabble is a story told in precisely 100 words. They're short, but challenging to write.

Today's word: JIFFY

I am speaking of the brevity of a moment in time, and not of the peanut butter. Enjoy!

Jiffy

“Become immortal for a small fee! It’ll only take a jiffy!” the advertisement
proclaimed.

Jimmy stared at the TV, his lip quirked in amusement. The idea of promoting a time-efficient means
of achieving immortality was laughable as it was. Claiming that it was cheap, however . . .

The blood bags chilling in his fridge were a testament to the
steep price that accompanied immortality.
The price was paid by the people from whom that blood was taken. It was also paid for by centuries of
loneliness. The faces of his family were
long forgotten now, as were those of lost lovers.

I Survived!

About Me

I am many things: a writer, a mother, a wife, a certified nutcase. Well, maybe not certified. No one ever had me tested. My characters exist in my head like multiple personalities. I deal with my insanity by putting it on paper for others to read.
